The Barringer Crater in Arizona

The best preserved meteorite impact crater on Earth. The crater is 50,000 years old and 1,265 m in diameter!
The impact force was equal to 20 million tons of TNT. The first image is a panoramic view of the crater (a
special software was used to create this panoramic view). The second image shows the crater rim from the

The Moon

This is a high resolution
zoom of the landing Area. Mt. Hadley can be seen in the
lower mid. section. The landing area was east of the
Hadley-Rille. The two craters in North-West are approx.
1.5 km in diameter. Click

Jupiter and Io

Jupiter and it's moon Io

A few minutes later Io was no longer visible, because it moved behind the planet. The Great Red Spot is also visible in the
left area of the SEB. With the three images made on the 16th, the rotation of the planet is also visible.
